That's really neat. I'd like to see it with only 9 buttons mapped to the 1-9 numpad keys. Then I could do it a lot faster. :)

Fun :)

It seems to offer problems with no valid solutions from which to choose.

Is this to be expected? Part of the challenge? Some new math?

cheers

No ... It should test your trust to your brain ;-)
Should be fixed. Please reload the v0.02 version.

Nice idea & works well.

Suggestion - would be nice to have an *end point* my green bar went off the side of the window.

Perhaps be nice to store your time to complete on a website for comparison against an average.

Really nice start though - nice simple idea ;-)

if you click on the left part of the question you get it right, if you click more toward the right you get it wrong 8)

I noticed the greyed out options, will we have (x+2)(x-2) = x^2 - 4 kind of thing?

Thats better :)

Perhaps a timer, more green bars for faster response?
Also, you should use PNG's for screenshots, they are smaller as the colours are often simple and they are clear

I am confused about the example image at the top...

I know my math is bad but when exactly does 80 - 11 = 80? (for extremely low values of 11?) :?

I thought 80 - 11 = 69 (A truly great number!) ;)

The result 80 was the number where your mousepointer was over it.
Maybe you are right and I will change it again.

you could possibly try changing the color to a grey when the mouse is hovering and set it to green or red on click.
